This study examines the relationship between the People's Republic
of China and the people of East Turkistan; specifically, between
China's settler colonialism and East Turkistan's independence
movement. What distinguishes this study is its dispassionate
analysis of the East Turkistan's national dilemma in terms of
international law and legal precedent as well as the prudence with
which it distinguishes substantial evidence from claims of China's
crimes against humanity and genocide in East Turkistan that have
not been fully verified yet. The author demonstrates how other
states have ignored the nature of that relationship and so avoided
asking key questions about East Turkistan that have been asked and
answered about other occupied and colonized states. The book
analyzes this situation and provides the tools and the argument to
understand East Turkistan's actual status in the international
community. Currently, the world has bought into China's rhetoric
about "stability" and "fighting extremism," and international
organizations accept China's presentation of Uyghurs and other
people as "minorities" within a Chinese nation-state. This book
instead shows East Turkistan can correctly be understood through
history and law as an illegally occupied territory undergoing
genocide. It also makes the case that East Turkistani people had
basis advancing territorial claim for independence.
